Reminder About Blended Learning and Virtual Class
Please keep in mind that Blended Learning and Virtual Class attendance is required at the middle school level. Students must attend our face to face meetings on Wednesdays from 9 am - 12:30 pm and attend their scheduled virtual class times on Mondays and Thursdays. This is an essential part of our programming with students and we will be following up with families whose students are not attending.

Attendance Update
Due to a change in the district's attendance messaging system, the automated attendance calls have not been sending. Please make sure you are logging into Infinite Campus to check student attendance. As a reminder, at eDCSD, we only take attendance once a week for the whole week, Wednesday - Tuesday. If a student shows an absence in a class, this means the student did not complete any work the whole previous week, equaling 5 days of class.
